The Latest on President Donald Trump's financial disclosure report (all times local):

6:30 p.m.

Vice President Mike Pence has released his annual financial disclosure, reporting a pension plan from the state of Indiana worth between $500,000 and $1 million and credit card debt between $15,000 and $50,000.

The report shows that oil company founder Forrest Lucas provided Pence with two tickets worth $774 to the Indianapolis Colts game in October that Pence walked out of in protest of some NFL players who knelt during the national anthem.

Pence also received three tickets worth $15,000 to the 2017 Super Bowl in Houston from Houston Texans owner Bob McNair. The vice president also attended the Indianapolis 500, receiving two tickets valued at $1,000 from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Pence's wife, Karen Pence, reported royalties of $15,000 to $50,000 for her children's book, "Marlon Bundo's Day in the Life of the Vice President."

President Donald Trump's disclosure that he "reimbursed" personal attorney Michael Cohen for as much as $250,000 last year comes in a footnote to his financial disclosure report.

No mention was made of a $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. A footnote in tiny type on page 45 of the 92 page document says the president "fully reimbursed" Cohen for "expenses" ranging from $100,001 to $250,000. The report says Trump did not have to disclose the payment but is doing so "in the interest of transparency."

The footnote appears in a report giving the first extended look at Trump's income from his properties since he became president. Among his holdings, he took in $25 million from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
